The relationship between Britain and its colonies started to crumble at that point in history. The Boston Tea Party later on reinforced that sentiment.
\nThe incident also known as \u201cthe incident on King Street\u201d fueled Paul Revere and Samuel Adams Revolutionary cause against the British authorities.
\nPaul Revere\u2019s colored engraved illustration (inspired from the original scene depicted by Henry Pelham) was used as a very proficient propaganda throughout the thirteen colonies to fuel animosity towards the British occupation.
\nIn the center of the King’s Street (now state Street) monument is a five pointed star representing the 5 deaths enclosed by 6 cobblestones, representing the six wounded. The thirteen cobblestone spokes represent the original thirteen colonies.<\/p>\n<\/div>
